Ivanova walks in, still in her pyjamas (of the baggy, mismatched, thrice-patched variety), her entire posture radiating dejections. "Hey, Tonks," she says, rather dismally. "I need consolation chocolate. Quickly."
Tonks nodded quickly and, turning to the shelf behind her, grabbed a small navy bag of truffles. "They're spelled for cheering," she warned, "Is this all right?"
"You found a way to improve consolatory chocolates?" Ivanova asked dryly. "I'm impressed. And yes, anything to cheer me up now. Without getting falling-down drunk, which wouldn't be very useful in this case, as I tend to get depressed more than happy." She squeezed her eyes shut. "And now I'm rambling."
"You all right?" Tonks asked carefully, glancing over at Ivanova. "And, y'know, I don't care if you ramble. It's always good to get things out in the open, I think!"
Ivanova ran a hand through her hair. "It's nothing really bad. I mean, when I take a step back and do the perspective thing it's not bad at all. But just -" she sighed. "Alright. So I feel asleep Friday after school when I should have been working on a project and ended up sleeping right through the deadline. And am thus going to fail Journalism. See? Silly."
"Well," Tonks drew it out for a moment, gathering her thoughts. "It's not quite so silly. Silly is when a girl gets into a mad tizzy about breaking a nail. Grades are rather important. You're smart; I take it you're doing well in your other classes?"
"I woke up with a migraine yesterday," Tonks answered, rubbing at the back of her neck apologetically. "I spent most of the morning with the shades drawn and a sleepmask on, with blankets over my head. It really kinda sucked."
"Lots of fun," Inara admitted. "I got to speak with some people I hadn't seen in a while, and met quite a few new people. Crowley's cooking was divine, and a good time was had by most, I think."
